It's the first time that anyone complains about _PyMem_DebugRawRealloc(). The behaviour seems to be very specific to OpenBSD. Even if the current code is "weird", it works very well and is effecient. I proposed attached PR 4119 which makes _PyMem_DebugRawRealloc() behaves correctly: erase bytes *before* calling realloc(), but keeps a copy if realloc() fails. My PR only changes the behaviour on OpenBSD. It keeps the current behaviour (erase bytes *after* realloc, if realloc succeeded) on other platforms for performance reasons. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31626> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
